Amazingly warm day in central London today, so after finishing work I went for a walk up the Thames to see the most famous statue in the land.
Nelson's Column, built between 1840 and 1843 to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The 5.5 m (18 ft) statue of Nelson stands on top of a 46 m (151 ft) Foggintor granite column. The statue faces south looking towards the Admiralty and Portsmouth where Nelson's & the Royal Navy Flagship HMS Victory is docked. (Wikipedia is my friend)
Working on a Saturday? That's bad news! Well it was a brill ending wasn't it? I was totally enthralled! Great picture of old Nelson there and look at that blue sky! What a lovely day it's been!
